EVE Online producer: “I don’t ever want EVE to be nice and fluffy”

PC Gamer - EVE Online’s Retribution expansion increased accessibility to the spacefaring MMO with its interface adjustments for guiding new players to their untimely death—er, their first few steps.

Eve Online is pure Torture! I think the tutorial takes like 40 hours to get through! Steep Learning curve!

Cupcakes, sissies, and casuals need not apply! Eve is for the Hardest of the Hardcore Gamers and Eve will be the ONLY game you play cause it's that time consuming but Highly Fun and addictive once you get into it!

actually I wouldn't even call Eve Online a Game cause it's more like a Space War/resource/commerce Simulator!
